SPECIFICATION vforming* part of Letters Patent'No. 282,421, dated l'uly 31, 1883.

' Application filed Tune 18, 1883. (No model.)

Beit known that I, GEORGE I. VALKEE, of the city of Lowell, in the State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inACash-Carriers, of which the following is a specification.

My invention has relation to the cash-contiining device generally known as the carrier, 7 which is designed to travel down a Suitable track, so as to convey its contents fromA one point to another on the track; and it is characterized by the combination,with a twopart carrier-case, of a cash-containing trough hung within said Ycase upon gudgeons, axlepins, or their equivalents in such manner as to be free to oscillate therein. The trough is so formed, with its center of gravitybelow its axis of oscillation, that it will, especially when weighted, always stand in one and the same upright position, notwithstanding the fact that the carrier-case is revolving and rolling upon the track. The trough, while supported in bearings in the case, is otherwise unconnected therewith, so that when the two parts of the case are separated the trough can readily be taken out. The heads of :the case in which the trough-bearings are respectively formed are so shaped that the axle-pins of the trough will readily nd these bearings when the two parts of the case are put together. In the accompanying drawings, Figure I is a front elevation of a carrier embodying' my invention, with a portion of the case broken away, so as to expose the trough within. 2 is a longitudinal central section of the oarrier.

The carrier-ease, which in the present instance is of cylindrical form, is composed of two parts, A and B, which can readily be taken apart and fitted together. The joint between them is indicated at '06.

The carrier is represented with peripherallygrooved end iianges,which serve as wheels to run on a two-rail track; but this construction will of course be variedaccording to the na` ture of the track lor track-rail upon which the carrier is to travel.

Within the case isthe cashreceiving trough C, of semicylindrical form, or thereabout, and open at the top. At each end and near its top it is provided with axle-pins or gudgeons c,

which,when the case is` closed, enter bearings I) formed for them in the respective heads of the case, said bearings being coincident with the axis of revolution of the case. surfaces of the heads are somewhat conical, and

converge toward these bearings, so that the ency will be increased by the weight of the `money or other object put into the trough,

which will have the effect of keeping it always in vertical position, and thus preventing it from spilling its contents.

To obtain access to the contents of the trough, the case is opened, the trough is taken .out and its contents removed, after which the trough can be putback into one of the parts of the case, and then the other part can be put in place, the pin a of the trough readily finding its bearing in the part which is thus put It is obvious that, instead of putting the bear ing bin the case and the pins c on the trough, the positions of these parts may be reversed, and I desire to be understood as including this modication within the scope of my claim.

Having described my improvements, what I claim as new and of my invention is;

The combination ofthe two-part carriercase, formed with external axial end bearings, as described, with a trough provided with axle-pins adapted to enter and freely mo've in said bear ings, substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore set forth.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 8th day of June, 1883'.
